I measured the "standard" American Racing wheels...

There isn't enough "meat" to use the Trigo adapters. Machining for the hub base would leave too little material left for structural integrity.
The splined Dunlop adapters that we used might fit if the wheels can be purchased un-machined. Since they sell the wheels with custom offsets , that might be a possibility.
I think there's enough meat behind the spokes to drill for the Trigo drive nuts, so using the splines to drive the wheel wouldn't be necessary. The result could, potentially, be a wheel that looks just like the original, but with pin drives.

Now if I can just get someone to pay me to do all the final development work...
